Eric Williams Jr. hit a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left and Oregon held on to take a 78-76 win over Oregon State in a Pac-12 Conference battle of rivalsJANUARY 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Quiet in return Williams amassed zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 79-66 victory over Utah.
Impact According to Chris Hansen of the Oregon Register-Guard, Williams sat out a Dec. 21 contest against Pepperdine due to knee soreness. He appears to have gained the necessary clearance for a matchup nearly two weeks later, though he came off the bench for the third consecutive contest. The production has suffered as a result, as Williams is averaging just 1.3 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last four games, so it's difficult to trust him from a fantasy perspective heading into Pac-12 play.

Going through warmups Saturday Williams (undisclosed) is going through warmups prior to Saturday's matchup against Utah, Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Williams was seen warming up and is expected to be available for the Ducks on Saturday. The senior missed the previous game against Pepperdine, but should have a role in this matchup. Williams is averaging 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds through 11 games this season.

In sweats ahead of game Williams was seen in sweats during pregame warmups and does not seem to be available for Tuesday's game against Pepperdine, James Crepea of the Oregonian reports.
Impact Williams did miss a game earlier this month due to a lower leg injury and has averaged just 16 minutes per contest over his last two games while coming off the bench. The 6-7 senior had started the first nine games of the year in which he was active while averaging 31 minutes per game over that span. He's clearly been limited in recent games and now is in line to sit out once again.

Tough shooting day in return Williams (lower leg) finished Sunday's 72-69 loss to Stanford with two points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes.
Impact Williams had a rough go of it from a shooting perspective in his first start back after sitting out a game due to a lower-leg injury, but his minutes total was still on par with contests earlier this season. With the injury seemingly in the past, the fourth-year forward should be clear to serve in a similar role moving forward.

Active Sunday Williams (lower leg) will be active for Sunday's contest against Stanford, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact The forward came into Sunday night questionable after missing the Ducks' last contest due to a lower leg injury, but will suit up against Stanford. Williams is averaging 11.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game over his first eight appearances of the season with Oregon. The senior's return most likely means that Jacob Young will head back to his role off of the bench.

Officially a game-time call Williams (lower leg) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Stanford, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Williams missed action last Sunday due to the same issue and it seems his final status will come right down to the wire. The 6-7 senior has averaged 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, two assists and 1.6 steals in 30.8 minutes per game. He'll hope to return to get the Ducks in the win column in conference play after dropping their opener against Arizona State.

Five turnovers in blowout loss Williams totaled 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 78-49 loss to Houston.
Impact Williams was the lone Oregon player to reach double figures, but he was sloppy with the ball - turning it over five times and has 11 turnovers over his last four games. He was able to help make up for it on the defensive end with a team-high three steals, however. The Ducks have struggled to find any rhythm on offense, being held to 50 points or less over their last three games against Division-I opponents.
